Spread it Out

Spread it out on the ground and let’s see how far it reach; spread it out on the ground and you will see where destiny is bound; spread it out and measure it and you will know exactly if it fits.

You have to cover the entire space to accommodate all the races, pull it all the way down to the land fill where heaven used to grind the mill; you will see for yourselves the mark that history has made and the holes that are dug out in the graves. Extend it to the top of the hill and you will have a better perspective of how it moves with the wind.

They gathered in the early morning to mend the ground and prepare for the first leg of the show, more than a thousand men and women with bags strapped across their back dressed in overall waited patiently at the foot of the hill for instructions to begin the military drill.

They had a task to complete before the sun comes up and they wasted no time in getting the lines on the vine. They rolled away every pebbles and stones and closed all the open holes that pops out of the ground, every nails and pins that sunk into the ground was removed with a metal detector before the commander arrived on the scene.

The commander braved the heat and entered the ground in her military gown she had two badges on her chest, one on the right and the other on the left and a firearm attached to her belt. Her deputy stand close to her side as she walked up the corridor with dignity and pride and the military men and women saluted her.

Everything was already in place for that spectacular occasion; they placed a sensor on everything thing and if you open your mouth a slight wind would blow and a light from the sensor would show, every movement was programmed with a sensor light and it captured everything that was in sight and even the birds feather from the tree was detected in the second degree. There is no escape everything is already baked and it could not be better.

The army practices the drills around the spaces that is twice the size of a normal football stadium and clear the grounds in ten spilt minutes; the army is ready, strong and fit and you are no match for them. They know the routine very well and they know how to work with time; mistakes cannot be made or they will boot out of their gate.

The commander led the army through the street to do a a final dry run in the burning heat; they marched down the square in full gears and the crowds gather around to watch the military spectacular in the town.

 They split up in groups one set in boots, the other on horse backs and the other set on motor bikes parading in colorful stride in the streets.

Spread it out on top of the hill, spread it out when you do the drill, spread in the cities, states and town spread it wherever  your spirit roam.

 The Olympic torch is coming to your town so spread it around.

 Spread it and feel your heart burn.

Spread it where destiny is bound!
